Chapter 2. Playing

■ Transposing the Keyboard in

Semitone Steps (Transpose)

Transpose changes keyboard pitch in units of semitones (-5–

+6 semitones).

This function is useful when you play transposed

instruments such as trumpet or clarinet following a printed

score.

1. Press [TRANSPOSE] to light indicator.

This turns Transpose on.

2. While holding down [TRANSPOSE], press [+OCT] or [-

OCT] to transpose the keyboard.

Pressing [+OCT] once while holding down [TRANSPOSE]

will raise the keyboard one semitone. Pressing [-OCT] once

while holding down [TRANSPOSE] will lower the keyboard

one semitone.

The specified Transpose setting will be added to the Octave

Shift value. For example, if you hold down [TRANSPOSE]

and press [+OCT] once to raise the keyboard a semitone, the

display will indicate “center=C#4.” So when C4 is pressed,

the C#4 note will sound.

3. To turn off Transpose, press [TRANSPOSE] once again

so that its indicator goes off.

The Transpose setting you make will be maintained.

* The Transpose setting you make here will also change the

Transpose parameter (SYSTEM/CONTROL/KEYBOARD).

* The setting you make will be maintained even if you select a

different Patch, Performance or Rhythm Set, or turn the power

off.

■ If “Stuck” Notes Occur or a

Note Does Not Sound (Panic)

If a note played on the XP-30 or from an external device

“locks” or keeps sounding and you can’t shut it off, hit the

Panic button. Do the same if a note does not sound.

When “Stuck” Notes Occur

1. Hold down [SHIFT] and press [EXIT].

MIDI messages for Note Off and Hold Off will be

transmitted to the Parts (MIDI channels) receiving Note On/

Hold On messages.

2. The display will indicate “Panic! Now Muting.” while

the Panic function is being executed. When this message

goes off, you can start playing.

When a Note Does Not Sound

1. Hold down [SHIFT] and press [EXIT] for more than a

second.

MIDI messages for Volume (127), All Note Off, Pitch Bend

(center), Channel Aftertouch (0), Modulation (0), and Hold 1

(0) will be transmitted to all Parts (MIDI channels).

2. The display will indicate “Panic! Now Transmitting.”

while the Panic function is being executed. When this

message goes off, you can start playing.
